After 31 years, Dominic Savio (Andheri) will be featuring in the Division I final of the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) inter-school football tournament. The Andheri school had beaten St Francis D'Assisi HS (Borivli) 1-0 in the concluding league match to emerge champions way back in 1987.

And Wilfred Alva, 49, who was the captain of that team and scorer of the crucial winner off a direct free-kick in the second half, is confident his former school will emerge triumphant once again. "They are a good side and can win this one. I hope they do," Alva, who is currently coaching Campion HS told mid-day yesterday, going on to recall that brilliant 1987 season.
